Main Opportunities for Investment in Nicaragua
1. Food Processing
Nicaragua’s energy, infrastructure and mines sector has become a priority through the years, receiving large volumes of investment mainly for the development of renewable energy projects and mining projects. Also, the country has managed to attract worldwide recognized companies due to the successful execution of these types of projects as well as for their technical and economic capacities.
1. Investment Opportunities in the Energy Sector
Strategically located in the center of the Americas, Nicaragua has sought to promote and develop itself as a tourism destination for almost two decades now. The tourism industry has been one of the country’s most rapidly growing sectors, with a sustained growth that today represents almost six percent of Nicaragua’s gross domestic product.
Business process outsourcing has become one of the main strategies for global companies seeking operational cost reduction and risk diversification. Nicaragua stands out as an attractive emerging destination as it offers excellent investment opportunities for business process outsourcing (BPO) companies looking to expand their operations in order to increase global competitiveness.
Nicaragua’s light manufacturing industry is one of the country’s most important economic sectors. Although Nicaragua has a long tradition of artisan footwear manufacturing, 2010 marked the beginning of industrial production and high volume export of fine leather footwear towards the United States and European Union markets.
Although traditional commodities continue to lead the list of Nicaraguan exports, the country's fastest growth is now found in nontraditional manufactured goods, such as apparel and auto parts.
